Tracey Medeiros of Atlanta, Georgia, writes: I'm a food stylist and recipe developer and passionate about my job. It was a dream of mine to have a career in the culinary arts, but I didn't think that was possible. In college I was a political science major and considered going to law school. But soon after graduation I realized cooking was my true calling. Italian-inspired sandwiches hot off the grill. Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto |
10 ounces thinly sliced whole-milk mozzarella cheese |
12 tomato slices |
12 large fresh basil leaves |
1 16-ounce ciabatta bread (13x6 1/2x1 1/2 inches), halved horizontally |
Directions:
1. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil over bottom of bread. Drizzle lightly with dressing, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press top of bread over. Cut bread equally into 4 sandwiches.
2. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill sandwiches until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally to compact with large spatula, about 5 minutes per side.
